I just read a post in another forum about people IMG getting in residency last year or this year
US citizen IMG 1,000 got inn
Non US citizen IMG 3,500 got inn
Why?
There are US citizen that are born, grow and go to school in their countries and then they decide to come to the US.
I thought that been US citizen helps you get inn residency a little, but base on this numbers NOOOOOOOOOT.
Opinions?

compare it to how many applied and you will see the percentages are similar. I think there were more foreign IMGs applying than US IMGs.

if we go by % you are correct is almost the same, but if we go by numbers then we are saying that they take 2.5 more non US.

as you said the % is same, the number of candidates applying is a lot less.

u gotta revise ur biostats buddy
numbers don't matter, its the percentage
and if the percentage is not very different then the most reasonable explanation is, that there aren't many US citizen imgs out there as non-US citizen

This is only because there are more non us img applying being a us citizen certainly is an advantage because you have no vias issues

non usimg's include Greencard holders. If you take that number out then the percentage for Non US img will be lower than the US img...meaning...no visa issues = easier to get residency
